Hi all. I've left a B&Q door frame set outside in the rain for 2months. Will it dry quickly?...no harm done?
Thanks.

Miracles are said to happen but I doubt it in this case lol
No, it will take 2 months to dry to where it was, more or less.
Just screw it down hard, and expect significant shrinkage.

Skip, Frame, In, Throw..............
Oh. not at all.
Assumings its an interior type, it is still usable.
Pretty much all woodwork in this place, has moved significantly since it was built..its what wood does as it adapts to long term conditions.
You just wait till it stabilises and redecorate..with lots of caulk and filler :-)
Still got the receipt?
It's B&Q pine man!
It will resemble WWI aeroplane props when it drys. :))
What's a B&Q pine man?

bring it in, let it dry at least a month and see how it goes. Sometimes one gets away with it. Some types of warp can be countered when fitting with screws.

It's probably sprouting fresh growth by now!

Is it like a wicker man only more fireproof?
I've often thought, that if I wanted to make a longbow B&Q stock timber already bent to shape :-)
Well, sell it on Ebay then. THEY go for several grand apiece..
B&Q burns quite well, at least it did in Hull (Sept '87).
Don.
Did you know, that at that time, no one in Buy and spew management had considered that one of their stores could burn as fast as it did?
What else is a shed load of oil based pants, brush cleaner and various solvent based finishes going to do, but burn?
Block and Quaid slipped up on that one before they sold out.

Ian't that Block & Quayle?
